Stick, a quarterback from North Dakota State, was drafted by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2019 draft Saturday. Adderley, a free safety from Delaware, was drafted by the Chargers a day earlier in the second round.

The two know each other from their FCS battle at the FargoDome last year.

“(Adderley) was all over the field breaking up passes,” Stick said. “He’s an unbelievable player.”

Adderley and Stick signify how the Chargers essentially had two different drafts when broken down into defense and offense.

On defense, the Chargers came out winners by adding two players who are capable of contributing from Day 1. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Adderley and first-round pick Jerry Tillery, a defensive tackle, are starting as rookies. They fill needs and add talent to an already stacked defense.

Overall, the Chargers drafted five defensive players and two offensive players.

Stick and third-round selection Trey Pipkins, an offensive tackle, are the two new players for offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt. Both are viewed as developmental players who likely won’t see much playing time in 2019.

The pick for Stick makes sense. He can learn for a few years behind Philip Rivers, who at age 37 is entering his 16th season in the NFL.

But to have Pipkins as the lone offensive line draft pick is a head scratcher. The Chargers’ offensive line, especially on the right side, struggled down the stretch last season.

They’ll likely have the same starting unit this upcoming season unless 2017 second-round pick Forrest Lamp cracks the rotation.

By spending the first two picks on defense, the Chargers missed on quality offensive linemen who are more polished than Pipkins, who played for Division II program Sioux Falls.

“There’s not a lot of players that come out of college that are ready to go,” Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said. “Part of it is development and teaching. For our offensive line, we got a pretty good group right now.”

Telesco was pleased with the offensive line’s production for the first three months of the 2018 season. He’s gambling on them to sustain that for four to five months in 2019.

The pick for Pipkins, however, can pay off in the future. He has the traits to become a dependable left tackle after a few redshirt years.

As for Stick, it appears the Chargers are set on making him Rivers’ successor. There was talk of him being a gadget player because of the dynamic plays he made with his legs in college. Stick had 41 career rushing touchdowns at North Dakota State.

Chargers coach Anthony Lynn made it clear that they’re expecting a lot more than trick plays from Stick.

“We are going to teach him our system,” Lynn said. “He’s going to play quarterback for us. We have running backs, we don’t a need a quarterback that can run all over the place, but he can certainly create when he has to.”

Stick became the first quarterback the Chargers drafted since they took Brad Sorensen in the seventh round of the 2013 draft.

With the draft in the rearview mirror, it’s hard to find a weakness on Gus Bradley’s defense. They even prepared for the worst by drafting two linebackers, Drue Tranquill and Emeke Egbule. The Chargers were plagued by injuries at linebacker last season.

The Chargers could give opposing quarterbacks nightmares with a defensive line that features Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram, and now Tillery. Also, Derwin James will have more freedom to attack quarterbacks with Adderley capable of patrolling the center of the field.

“Looks great today, but we’ll find out in training camp about some of these guys,” Telesco said. “As far as where we are right now, yes we are very pleased.”

Trey Pipkins, OT, Sioux Falls, 3rd round, 91st overall: With the first two picks spent on defense, the Chargers missed on selecting an offensive tackle who can contribute in 2019. Pipkins is considered a project with big upside.

Drue Tranquill, ILB, Notre Dame, 4th round, 130th overall: Tranquill joined a crowded linebacker unit, but depth was needed after the position was ravaged by injuries in 2018.

Easton Stick, QB, North Dakota State, 5th round, 166th overall: After five years of not drafting a quarterback, the Chargers finally took a player to develop behind Philip Rivers.

Emeke Egbule, OLB, Houston, 6th round, 200th overall: Gives the Chargers another edge rusher, but will likely need to work his way up from special teams.

Cortez Broughton, DT, Cincinnati, 242nd overall: Despite being the last pick, Broughton will get a chance to compete with the Chargers thin at defensive tackle.
